Chapter 361: Civil Strife
After the problem of the seaplane was solved, Chen Shen began to purchase other equipment.
The first is stronger body armor, which he directly handed over to Peng Xucheng and asked him to communicate with the factory in the north to purchase customized versions of higher-strength body armor.
The second is mortars, when it comes to this, the Eastern Corps and MPRI are really on fire, they even took out RPGs, so Chen Shen doesn't need to be polite to them.
Even if you can't engage in any heavy artillery, you still have to have a little bit of 60 and 120 pressures.
This matter should be handed over to Xu You, who has been in the arms smuggling business for many years, and cannot be said to be too familiar with the smuggling routes in various seas in Southeast Asia, but he has heard of it.
Combined with the information provided by Xiaoyu and some of the "shelter", it was time for him to open up transportation channels from Pubei or from other regions to Sulawesi, and bring in what the Dongfeng Corps needed.
The first batch is regarded as a way to explore, and first get some 60 to force over.
If this path can really be followed. Then the rest of the stuff can start to be shipped in, too.
But of course, the most important thing to ship goods to Sulawesi is not "export", but "import", but it just so happens that the seaport town of Kendari is still under the control of Gunawan, and he can use some other conditions to exchange interests with him.
At present, although the interests of the two sides are completely identical, their positions are basically the same, and the foundation of cooperation between the two sides is at least much deeper than that of the United States.
Therefore, Chen Shen is not too worried about the issue of this "route", and even he is thinking about it, otherwise he will directly cooperate with Gu Nawan and put the skin on directly.
The equipment is imported by the Indonesian police and used by itself.
In this way, Dongfeng Group does not have to bear any risks in terms of legal theory and compliance, and its business can also be very large.
However, the problem with this plan is that it must be deeply bound to the Indonesian side.
And Indonesia is vacillating in some positions, its biggest backer does not nod, and some things that should not be done, it is better not to do them.
Then put it aside for the time being, after all, you can't become fat by eating in one bite, so take your time.
After everything was arranged, Chen Shen's state of mind also stabilized a little.
And at this time, a new piece of good news arrived.
The first batch of six people to support finally arrived in Sulawesi, Chen Shen asked Lin He to come over to pick up people, and he and Shi Dakai waited in Qingshan Park with shelves.
Now that the group has become bigger, many things have to be formalized, and the corporal can be played, but not excessively.
Once it is too much and the heat is too big, the rules will be out of order.
But of course, after the people arrived, Chen Shen still received them as soon as possible.
Sitting in the office of the Dongfeng Corps, six people lined up and stood in a standard military posture.
The temperament of this body alone is very different from the militia that comes out of the people's army.
Chen Shen was very satisfied with their performance - he didn't want a scary soldier who didn't know anything and had a big temper, he wanted a ruthless man who could fight and was willing to work for money after becoming a mercenary.
These six people all have this kind of temperament, Chen Shen made a brief introduction to them, and after getting to know each other, he took them to visit the park with Shi Dakai, assigned tasks, and also sent the equipment down.
"This is my office, if you have an emergency to report in the future, you can come here and come to me directly."
"However, if there is nothing special, usually look for this directly, Shi Dakai."
"He's your direct commander, or you can call him Company Commander Shi."
"He is responsible for the front-line command of the battlefield, and he is also the field commander."
"Understood!"
The six of them answered in unison, Chen Shen nodded, and while continuing to walk forward, he introduced:
"This is our camp-ββ or should it be called a dormitory, and the location is relatively spacious at the moment, so you can allocate your own rooms and beds."
"When you were in Mengka before, you also went through basic training, and you also have a basic understanding of our sentry system, and the follow-up arrangements will be implemented in accordance with the original standards."
"But we're in a war zone now, and I'm asking everyone to be in combat condition at all times, with their guns and equipment, and in the event of a fight, everyone must be in place within a minute. Can it be done? β
"It can be done!"
The six of them replied again, and Chen Shen also nodded again.
After turning around, the newcomers already had a basic understanding of the current situation and the follow-up combat missions, Chen Shen didn't say more, and took them directly to the warehouse to let them choose the equipment they needed.
This hand directly stunned them.
After all, although they also used the latest firearms training in Mengka, and even used SCAR, what they saw in front of them still gave them a great impact.
The most advanced guns, the most advanced night vision devices, the most advanced body armor, and even the most advanced radios!
"It's . XM109οΌοΌ β
Among the six, a relatively young mercenary named Liu Siyuan asked.
"Yes, XM109. Will it work? β
"Yes, I've fought QLZ-87, and I can use it as a regiment leader, can I use this?"
Liu Siyuan's eyes were full of expectation, but Chen Shen shook his head and replied:
"You only pick the individual equipment that you have with you, such as guns, sights, equipment, etc. The use of these special equipment is to be determined according to the specific combat situation, and it is not attributable to individuals. β
"I understand, I understand!"
Liu Siyuan nodded hurriedly, and then explained:
"I mean, regiment commander, if there is a similar combat mission in the future, you can give priority to assigning me this position, I played really well!"
"Okay, no problem."
Chen Shen replied immediately.
In fact, the skill of long-range shooting of sniper grenades is currently only possessed by himself and Shi Dakai in the entire Dongfeng Corps, and Shi Dakai obviously has more important responsibilities, and now someone offers to operate sniper grenades, then he will naturally not refuse.
After receiving his reply, Liu Siyuan's expression was extremely excited-ββ probably when he was in the army, he was indeed a howitzer, and he also had feelings for this thing
Compared to him, other people's "points of interest" are more ordinary.
After a round of selection, everyone got the equipment they needed, and the difference was mainly in the selection of main and secondary weapons and sights.
Overall, there are two snipers, two machine gunners, and two demomen among the six, making them very well balanced, and they can also take on close-range assault missions.
Together with the remaining 7 personnel of the Dongfeng Corps who are still combat-ready, the number of fighters of the Indonesian detachment has reached 13.
Although the number of MPRIs and JD molecules is still not worth mentioning, at least it is enough to deal with skirmishes.
The next batch of personnel arrived a week later, with a total of 12 people.
At that time, the scale of the Eastern Corps will be further expanded, and the integrity of its equipment and combat functions will also be further enhanced.
Chen's goal is to maintain a team of about 50 people in Indonesia, but it will not be possible to recruit that number in a short period of time
After the newcomer settled down, Chen Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, La Botha is still not calm, the police are conducting a large-scale search for the JD elements who caused the bombing, and gunshots can be heard from time to time outside.
Like him when he first arrived in La Bota, the six newcomers were nervous β after all, they had never been in actual combat, they were inexperienced, and they were not mentally mature.
So, Chen Shen made a quick decision, and did not give them more time to adapt, and called Argus directly and asked him to arrange a "joint patrol".
In order to ensure safety as much as possible, Shi Dakai personally led the team to participate in the patrol.
As the afternoon passed, the gunfire in La Botha turned from sparse to intense, and from dense to sparse, and finally stopped.
By the time the "patrol" returned in the evening, the temperament of all six had changed.
Chen Shen saw it in his eyes, pulled Shi Dakai aside and asked:
"How's it going, have you all shot?"
Shi Dakai nodded and replied:
"They all fired, but only two of them were directly engaged."
"It's not bad, the action is more decisive, and there is no softness."
"But it's true that I still have no actual combat experience, and when I see a dead person, I still react relatively well."
"Spit up?"
Chen Shen asked curiously.
"Not really. It's a little uncomfortable, but it's basically overcome. β
Chen Shen nodded slightly, not surprised by this result.
People who have never actually been on the battlefield, it is impossible for you to ask them to have no burden and no psychological pressure on "killing" like they did in the movie.
It is impossible for any army in this world to train people to be a killing machine that can be fought by seeing people.
Recruits must have an adaptation process when they go into battle, and they must understand the consequences of shooting bullets in their hands at the enemy, so that they can truly understand the meaning of each of their tactical moves and exert the power of truly useful "killing skills".
Chen Shen originally planned to finish this matter in Pubei, but there was no way, the situation was stronger than people, so he could only ask people to come over first.
However, fortunately, the situation in Sulawesi is not much better than that of Pubei, and fortunately, the newcomer just came over and caught up with the opportunity of desensitization training.
Looking at the recruits with somewhat solemn faces on the side, Chen Shen didn't plan to say more to them.
He believed in the quality of the soldiers who came out of that ranks, and especially believed that after knowing what kind of enemy they had killed, they could not even pass this hurdle.
ββ
And sure enough, he was right.
Half an hour after returning from the patrol, when they participated in the welcome dinner, the mood of the six people had already improved.
By the time the meal is finished, it has fully recovered.
They have finally crossed this hurdle, and from now on, they can really be regarded as a "mercenary", a "warrior".
Two days later, the adaptive training between the newcomer and the old man was basically completed, and Chen Shen also added the content of military dog cooperative operations to the training subjects, making full preparations for the follow-up "clearance activities".
He knows that in previous conflicts, MPRI can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
It was definitely an elite team that was wiped out, and according to Lao Mei's strategic deployment in Indonesia, it was impossible for them to pull out a team of the same size to attack the Dongfeng Corps in a short period of time.
Therefore, their future task is actually very clear, that is, to cooperate with the police to gradually develop outward with Rabota and Kendari as the center, and eliminate the JDIST forces in the whole of Sulawesi.
This work should have been carried out as soon as possible, but in reality, because of the "confrontation" between the president and the military, Gunawan did not dare to act rashly, and could only "suppress" the unstable situation in the jurisdiction as much as possible.
Chen Shen is not optimistic about such a conservative strategy, because he knows that JDISM cannot be suppressed.
If you want to fight, you can only knock them out at once and exterminate all their leaders.
Otherwise, the more you suppress, the harder they will bounce back.
And once the power of this backlash is used by some forces that are eyeing each other, the consequences.
It's completely catastrophic.
In his judgment, one week is already the limit of balance, and once this time is exceeded, it is really God who cannot save Sulawesi.
ββ
However, in the midst of this tense atmosphere, on the fourth day after the Kruno incident, Xiaoyu's call came.
And she also brought new bad news to Chen Shen.
"The president won, but not completely."
"The impact of successive large-scale terrorist attacks has been so bad that a large number of people have been held accountable."
"There is chaos within the military, Gato Nurmanti has been taken under control, and Prabowo has taken over his duties."
"This year's Eagle Shield exercise has been cancelled, and MPRI's presence in Indonesia is being curtailed."
"A number of U.S. military exchange personnel will be withdrawn, and intelligence activities will be suspended."
"They're going to be in a state of silence soon, and we're going to have to deal a fatal blow to them."
"Two things."
"First, al-Bashir must live."
"Second, in the coming period, a group of people will be withdrawn from Indonesia, and you must stop them!"
"Me?!"
Chen Shen froze in place, and then continued to ask:
"What's the situation? What about mobile brigades? Can't they even keep a Bashir? β
"Civil strife! The mobile brigade is also not an iron plate! Now the whole of Indonesia is in chaos, the president misjudged the situation, he did not transfer al-Bashir to Jakarta before, but imprisoned him near Lake Matana, but the mobile brigade there was also bought, and now Bashir has no more than twenty guards around him! β
"Also, the other party is moving much faster than we expected."
"As soon as the MPRI attack on you failed, they began to prepare for evacuation."
"Now, the IS-K members who are connected to them have been evacuated, and they are on a cargo ship from Kalimantan to Chayapura and will pass through the high seas north of Sulawesi in 50 hours!"
"They still need to wait for the next directive."
"At the heart of the matter is Nurmanti! If he can return to power in a short period of time, IS-K will not withdraw from Indonesia. β
'We can't give them this opportunity, we have to get the evidence, it's a big bargaining chip.'
"With this chip, we can take down Baribari."
"Go figure it out, you only have two days to prepare, if you need any equipment, tell me as soon as possible, we're very short on time."
"Understood."
Chen Shen took a deep breath and continued to ask:
"So you're saying that we have to rescue al-Bashir within two days, and then take control of the cargo ship where the IS-K leader is located?"
"That's right, to be exact, you only have 2 hours to rescue al-Bashir."
The little fish on the opposite side replied solemnly:
"It's hard, but it's the only solution."
"Go and figure it out, I'll immediately transfer two helicopters, and I'll synchronize the specific information and requirements with you."
"Give me 20 minutes and I'll give you a spot."
"Take him to La Botha and protect him until the end of the civil strife."
"There must be no coup d'Γ©tat in Indonesia, let alone a military coup, otherwise all our layout will come to naught."
"Alright, now let's go and prepare."
"After this vote, what do you want!"
